25 times she lined up in the barriers and 25 times she won.

Up there with Sir Don Bradman, this horse truly captured the hearts of a nation and took us on a journey we'll never forget.

She'll be headed to the breeding farm where her owners want her offspring to be raced.

Only happy people here are the bookies as they've never had to payout on so many 6 and 7 figure wager...
 
Incredible horse. The few times I got to see her , was just phenomenal to watch. The best sprinter ever they say, great article on the huge impact she had.

"Superlatives attached themselves to Black Caviar, whose retirement was announced on Wednesday, from early in her unbeaten, 25-race career. She has been called the best sprinter that the sport has seen, the best racehorse to emerge from Australia and, on occasions, just the best, full stop. For the exceptional mare's most ardent fans, all three are simply a matter of fact and likely to remain so, even if something comes along soon that goes on to win 26.

"The numbers that tell the real story of Black Caviar are the thousands she put on the gate when she ran, the new fans she brought to racing and the excitement and anticipation that followed her around, both on the track and away from it too. She was arguably the first great racehorse of the social media age, with countless followers on Facebook and Twitter. Her racing career was a shared experience, and all the more intense as a result."

Thanks for additional info pal...

They are already saying if she has a foal to Frankel it would be worth 30-40 million..

As it is her 1st foal will be bred for racing.

Will earn 10x+ more siring foals than it ever could racing...
